Preferred Label : aromatase;
MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the desaturation (aromatization) of the ring A of C19 androgens
and converts them to C18 estrogens. In this process, the 19-methyl is removed. This
enzyme is membrane-bound, located in the endoplasmic reticulum of estrogen-producing
cells of ovaries, placenta, testes, adipose, and brain tissues. Aromatase is encoded
by the CYP19 gene, and functions in complex with NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE
in the cytochrome P-450 system.;
MeSH synonym : cyp 19; protein, cyp19; estrogen synthetase; cyp19; cytochrome p-450 cyp19; cytochrome p-450(arom); cytochrome p450 19; androstenedione aromatase; p450arom; estrogen synthase; cyp19 protein; cytochrome p 450 cyp19; aromatase, androstenedione;
